Amazing Day out! - What an absolutely marvelous day. Was worried about doing the "small group" thing, but it turned out to be wonderful. The entire trip was fabulous and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You won't be disappointed.

Great day with Leidse - We had a great day with our guide Leidse, very friendly and knowledgeable and adaptable to our needs. He really made the day so much better, sharing his Dutch food treats and his great driving skills in both the van and the small open boat. Highly recommend for a wonderful tour.

Great tour, great guide! - I booked this tour specifically because it was for smaller groups and included hotel pick-up/drop-off. It did not disappoint! Our guide, Leidse, was wonderful and very knowledgeable. He was on time picking us up, introduced us to the rest of the group, and shared many fun facts about Amsterdam & the Netherlands with us as he drove. He made sure everyone was included in the conversation during the ride. Aside from Giethoorn, the stops we made along the way are some that I likely would not have visited if not for the tour. I appreciated the educational and hands-on experience while learning about Dutch culture. After the tour, Leidse still made sure to check on us and we even took him up on a restaurant recommendation (which was delicious, by the way!) This tour was great and we loved spending the day with this group. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get out of Amsterdam for the day!

A very satisfied travel experience - Leidse guides are professional, passionate and very active. I was afraid of being embarrassed with the English team, but Leidse is proficient in multinational languages, will not let anyone feel excluded, and also shared some traditional Dutch snacks with us. Although today's weather is unpleasant, detailed explanations and a harmonious group atmosphere make this experience very satisfying.

Tour and guide were... - Tour and guide were great. The people who handle the reservations were rude and nasty. One person threatened me that if we were no at the new meeting point by 7:50 the driver would leave without us. I saved the email to show my travel agent. Will never use viator in Europe again.
